Chewy Nutty Oats Cookies

I love Oats cookies, oats are supposed to be good for you, it is rich in fiber!

So I was on a hunt for a good recipe.

I've decided to adapt this recipe by Alice Medrich with a little twist of my own.

Oats cookies should be crisp on the outside and chewy in the middle. That's what I love about oats cookies.

Cookies which are crisp and chewy at the same time, should be stored in a container, a tin or something, and not in an air-tight container. As this allows the cookies to breath, if stored in an air-tight container, your cookies will be all stale/soggy (we say 'lau-fong' in Chinese).

This recipe is certainly easy! It makes quite a large batch too!

All you need:

{makes 40 cookies)

2 cups of rolled oats

1/4 cup of water

1 1/4 cups of plain flour

1/2 tsp of baking soda

1 tsp of ground cinnamon *I only used about 1/2 tsp, not a huge fan of cinnamon.

1/4 tsp of freshly grated nutmeg * I only had ground, so I used slightly less than 1/4 tsp.
